Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)

PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis)

Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) is recommended for couples who are known carriers of a single gene disorder (genetic disease) like Hemophilia or Cystic Fibrosis. At New Hope Fertility Clinic of NYC PGD is performed after a woman’s eggs have been retrieved and fertilized by her partner’s sperm, but before the eggs have been transferred back into her uterus. When the fertilized egg has reached blastocyst stage, 5-7 cells are gently removed from each embryo using a microsurgery technique similar to that used in ICSI. The DNA from the removed cells are then analyzed using a specifically designed probe that is created to test for a specific gene disorder. PGD will diagnose a genetic defect in an embryo.
